Bristol Carves Out Niche for Street Musicians

Musician George Goode plays along State Street on Friday. The city of Bristol, Tenn., has begun a new downtown program called Bristol's Busk Stop. The program will allow artists, or buskers, an opportunity to showcase their talent. The performers must obtain a permit and play in one of three marked spots. Performers will be allowed to accept donations in city allocated donation boxes. (Photo by Christopher Bradshaw|Special to the Hearld Courier)
